The Season of Lent by Jimmy Via
We are now over a week into the season of Lent. Lent is a season of prepara on as
we look forward to Easter. It’s a season of repentance, prayer, service, and fas ng.
Maybe with the excep on of fas ng, this season sounds a lot like the way we hope
the rest of the year looks for us. One word to describe the diﬀerence of this season
is focus. Everything in the Lenten season has a heightened focus.
We focus on God’s word, His unwavering devo on to us, and on how helpless we
are without His grace. We focus on becoming the person He wants us to be through
His grace, and on devo ng our lives to Him.
The trap for us at this me of year, as with any other me of the year, is our own
assump ons. We all have a list of things we wish we could improve about ourselves
in our quest to become be er Chris ans, and we’re all prone to focus on our faults
and forget about God’s grace. As humans, we’re also prone to have our life
trajectory planned out, some of us with more detailed steps than others, but all of
us forge ng that God could have something diﬀerent in mind.
The way to avoid the trap of our own assump ons is to be in constant
communica on with God. As we move through the Lenten season, let us slow
down and focus on God. Let us dwell with Him in prayer and in His word. Let us ask
for forgiveness and turn back to His ways. Let us not seek to check oﬀ our list of
self-improvement goals, but let us rest in God’s love and grace and wait on His
direc on. And when we receive that direc on, let us boldly follow it.
On Palm Sunday, Mar. 29, David Downey will be presen ng the Passion story , as
recorded by John, during the Sunday School hour.
We will be holding a Maundy Thursday service this year on April 2 at 7 p.m.
Communion will be served.

Search Committee Update by Philecta Staton
THANK YOU
goes out to
Kathryn, Caleb and
Jason Landes,
Phil Douglas and
Frank Sprinkel
for clearing all the snow
away from the church this
past Sunday morning.
These folks were at HBC
EARLY in the morning
clearing snow from sidewalks
and parking lots so that we
could meet our new pastor
and worship together
Sunday a ernoon.
Please take the me to thank
them when you see them!
We also want to thank
the snow team of
What a joy to see 181 people come out
at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 22, for an
hour’s Meet & Greet followed by a
beau fully blended worship service.
The highlight of every worship service
should be that souls are renewed and
drawn closer to the Lord. That blessing
was certainly apparent on this unique
occasion. Then, what an added blessing
to ﬁnd how deeply in one accord we
were as this body of Christ unanimously
conﬁrmed the call of Dr. Mark Daniel
White as the 23rd pastor of Harrisonburg
Bap st Church. Mark will begin his new
pastorate on March 23 which will make
Palm Sunday his ﬁrst Sunday with us.
Currently he is teaching a Thursday
course at Bap st Theological Seminary
in Richmond. The Pastor Search
Commi ee felt that his March arrival
was important enough to concede our
full support to his commitment to ﬁnish
teaching the course through May 7.
Please be in prayer for the family’s
speciﬁc needs during the ﬁrst few
months that will be transi onal for them.
Victoria, Ava and Owen will be with us on
the weekends. During the week they will
remain in Richmond while Ava ﬁnishes
third grade. During these months they
also will be selling their home in
Richmond and looking to buy in
Harrisonburg. Obviously, un l those
details are ﬁnalized, they are seeking to
ﬁgure out where Mark will stay during
the week and where the family will stay
over the weekends. As plans develop,
we will be in touch with you. If you have
ques ons or want to be of assistance in
some special way, please contact me at
540-383-2041 or [email protected].
The next Wednesday Night Supper
will be held on Wednesday, March 4 at 5:15 p.m.
The menu will be pork loin roast, red potatoes
with vegetables, fruit and dessert.
The cost is $5 for adults and $3 for children
with a max of $20 per family.
Please sign up on the Communication Card
for one-time or permanent reservations.
John Holsten,
Steve McNeal and
Frank Sprinkel
for cleaning the sidewalks and
parking lot on the a ernoon
of Tuesday, Feb. 17. What a
blessing to be able to get in
the church without having to
walk through the snow.

Begins Sunday, March 8.
Remember to set
your clocks ahead one hour!
It’s also a good time
to check batteries in your

A Message from Dr. Mark White
Dear HBC Family,
Wow! What a beginning we had last
weekend. It started with nearly a
foot of snow on the ground. That’s a
powerful force which o en brings
life to a screeching halt. Schools,
businesses, and churches typically
shut down, and yet, I witnessed a
greater power at work. The snow
certainly complicated our plans but it
could not keep the Spirit of God from
bringing us together.
However, I had my doubts at the
me. As my family watched the
snow fall from the warmth and
comfort of our hotel room, I
wondered whether the whole
weekend would have to be
rescheduled. In my experience as an
eastern Virginian, people are hesitant
to venture out into the snow. It’s
risky. You might fall and hurt
yourself, or you may wreck your car.
So when Sunday, Feb. 22 ﬁnally
arrived, I did not know what to
expect. Almost every church in the
Harrisonburg area had cancelled their
services. I wondered what we would
do, and then Philecta Staton sent
me a text message asking about
my availability for a combined
worship service in the a ernoon. I
responded, “We’re there!”
together an array of people, and in
our me together, I met long- me
members and visitors and people
who had been away for a while. A
fes ve spirit was present. People
were talking and laughing. Drinks
and snacks were enjoyed. Children
were playing with each other and
running through the fellowship hall.
And the applause at the end of the
business mee ng conﬁrmed this
parade-like atmosphere.
An even more signiﬁcant parade is
on the horizon. On Palm Sunday, we
will remember and celebrate Jesus’
triumphal entry into Jerusalem. This
was the day when people of all walks
of life shouted their hosannas and
proclaimed, “Blessed is the one who
comes in the name of the Lord!”
My ﬁrst Sunday as your pastor is
Mar. 29 - Palm Sunday. I expect to
see all of you in worship and involved
in the life of the church. We have an
amazing amount of energy and
excitement right now. Let’s build on
what God is doing among us.
My family and I were overwhelmed
by the par cipa on at both the
“Meet and Greet” and the 4 p.m.
Blended Worship Service. We were
energized by mee ng so many of
you. Your gracious spirit, friendly
smiles, generous words of welcome,
and the tremendous excitement
you have about our future is simply
amazing.
Our future is very bright. HBC is
bringing together people of all ages
and from all walks of life. We have a
talented and gi ed congrega on full
of passion and drive, ready to
embrace the opportuni es in our
midst. And like the crowd that
celebrated Jesus’ entry into
Jerusalem, may we rejoice in what
God is doing among us. But unlike
that crowd who disappeared days
later, let’s strengthen our bonds
with each other and deepen our
commitment to God by joining Jesus
Christ in his mission of bringing the
kingdom of God closer to our world.
Our gathering even had a parade-like
feel to it. Parades, of course, bring
Grace &
Peace
Thank You
I would like to extend
a special thank you to
Daphne Almarode
for wri ng the wonderful
“40 Day Prayer Journey”
devo ons we have
enjoyed this winter.
Daphne put a tremendous
amount of me,
energy, spirit
and heart into her work,
and I know many, many
people were blessed as a
result.
What a wonderful gi
she gave to our
congrega on
as we prepared for the arrival
of a new senior pastor.
Thank You
Daphne
for your ministry to us all.

HBC Alive
Mission Moments by Cindy Parks
Sometimes when I sit to write this column, the words
have been brewing in my mind for days and they just
flow onto the keyboard without hesitation. Today, I sit at
my keyboard and what comes freely aren’t words, but a
breath of gratitude. Gratitude for a church family who
works together, stepping outside our comfort levels and
abilities, dreaming big, and moving into unexpected places.
This may be an odd analogy, but if you love chocolate,
you’ll get it. When you let a piece of quality chocolate melt slowly in your mouth,
there’s a different satisfaction than when you just inhale it. That slow melting is
what I see in HBC. There are opportunities to bless that are the inhaling type,
but for the most part we are melting into our neighborhoods. This is our third
year for some pretty big mission initiatives … Dress A Girl, our third return to
Owsley County, KY, a third dose of both spring and fall Operation Inasmuch, a
third annual race to give much needed funds to our Pray.Dream.Act. Partners.
And, most happily, that’s a small part of a very big HBC list!
I look around our congregation and I see good works being completed. I see us
being busy. I don’t see idle hands and lips. I see generosity and compassion.
Love and determination to be present in our neighborhoods. If we see it in each
other, you know God sees it.
One of my favorite parts of OIAM after all the planning and organizing and
publicizing is to stand with the microphone during our morning meeting and see all
the faces gathered in this one spot, with no regard to age or gender or who is
Baptist or Methodist or Mennonite. The excitement, joy and pride is hard for me
to contain. My emotion is nothing in comparison to what my human mind
imagines what God feels when He is in that room with us. I’m overwhelmed just
writing about it. I can feel a Holy smile and hear heavenly cheering to keep
going …
Lowe’s has been a partner with OIAM and I think they have got something very,
very right with their corporate tagline. Never Stop Improving. That’s us, Church,
that’s us … we’re never gonna stop improving!
On Friday, Feb. 13
Amie O’Dell, Debbie Douglas, Karen Folsom, Jane Messinger,
T. W. Johnson and Frank Sprinkel
cleaned up the stage in the Fellowship Hall.
The stage had become a dumping ground for anything
that didn’t have a regular home. Please take a moment
to look how neat and organized the stage looks now!
We ask you for your assistance to help keep it this way!
We are so blessed at HBC to have so many folks share their
love of the Lord by serving in so many ways.

Fig Leaf Found
A little boy opened the large old family Bible, and he looked with
fascination at the ancient pages as he turned them one by one.
He was still in Genesis when something fell out of the Bible.
He picked it up and looked at it closely. It was a very large old
tree leaf that had been pressed between the pages of the Bible
long ago."Momma, look what I found!" the boy called out.
"What do you have there?" his mother asked.
With astonishment in his voice, the young boy answered,
"I think it's Adam's underwear!"
